Waaay Better Than The I-Pod...
Review of Creative ZEN by shaaza

Advantages: you can upgrade the memory, it has 16MP picture quality, it has an alarm
Disadvantages: it comes with fat unstylish headphones, you can't see the buttons in the dark

...BINGO I came across this Creative Zen MP3/Mp4 player. The pictures of it looked tremendous and smart. The 2.5" screen was so attractive and I knew from then this was my mp3 player, my prayer had been answered I had never really been a fan of Creative products till I saw this mp3 player. I usually used to buy Sony or Samsung mp3 player. But I guess it's true what they say, 'there is a first time for everything'. Since I got this Creative Zen mp3 ... Read review

Creative's pride the new Creative Zen
Review of Creative ZEN by roktimdutta

Advantages: Excellent audio, loads of features, price
Disadvantages: A bit sloppy video

...really a heartening arrival from Creative planners and it seems this highly rated organization is getting their acts together. They have had lot of promise and Creative Zen, the latest arrival from their pipeline has established that they have the capacity to live up to the expectations. I always thought that user or customer feedback network is essential the success of products which have to cope of with such massive international competetion and ... Read review

Simply Zen
Review of Creative ZEN by ScreamingTc

Advantages: Credit Card sized, Good battery life, Excellent Sound
Disadvantages: Messy Menu System

...have been a long time Creative user having owned a Creative Nomad and Creative Micro photo in the past, and as such choose to keep with Creative for my next MP3 player. Generally they have always been of good build quality and lasted me a fair amount of time before wear and tear got the best of them. Well the first thing to note is the size of the player. It's credit card width and whilst thicker then the Apple Nano it provides a feeling that it ... Read review

Creative Zen
Review of Creative ZEN by stumpmaster

Advantages: size, weight, storage, ease of use
Disadvantages: headphones and usb cable

This is my first Mp3 player, although my wife has an Ipod mini. Overall I have found it to be a fantastic little companion on the train, out walking or just for around the house. Good storage capacity at 8 meg, and the ability to add additional if required. Size and shape mean it fits easily into any pocket and you hardly know it's there. It really comes into it's own though in functionality and ease of use. Very easy to load using the software supplied, ... Read review

MP3 Player amazing
Review of Creative ZEN by nothingbutme1

Advantages: SD port for extra memory, easy to use and charge, excellent quality
Disadvantages: NONE!

This product is fantastic. There are loads of acessories available for it, as well as replacements for things you've lost or broken. Downloading from the computer couldn't be easier and you can syncronise between them so that whenever your mp3 is plugged into the computer, it will autmomatically download any updates and changes. The screen quality is fantastic and videos are extremely clear, you can also store pictures which are easy to view and ... Read review

Review of Creative ZEN by leightheDalek

Advantages: reasonable price, looks good, dinky, good battery life, good sound quality.
Disadvantages: NONE:)

...brother had both had amazing creative mp3 players with no problems (his zen touch has been running for 4 years and still going strong) i decided to look for a new creative player the mozaic in my opinion was the same thing with an ugly casing and the x-fi was a bit expensive so at the size i needed the zen was ideal. Memory- at 8 gb it holds a substancial amount of songs i don't know exactly as i haven't managed to fill it yet Battery life- ... Read review

The Creative Zen is brilliant little device!
Review of Creative ZEN by twinkle321

Advantages: Small, sleek and lots of features
Disadvantages: Buttons could be a bit tricky at first

I received this device as a gift. I was a little unsure at first as I had never owned any kind of MP3 before. I was very pleasantly suprised to find it very easy to use and that it has unexpected features such as radio, photo and video. Personally I often use this on the train or the walk to work - the sound and video quality is excellent. I have often watched programs downloaded from BBC i Player and the quality is brilliant. The Zen comes with computer ... Read review

My Experiences with the Creative Zen MP4 Player
Review of Creative ZEN by Gavman555

Advantages: Sound quality, price, design
Disadvantages: Few supported video formats.

Last christmas, I recieved this MP3 player as a gift. At first sight, you can immediately tell it is a well designed product, with an intuitive user interface, and well positioned buttons. Setting up the device was also extremely easy for me. I just plugged it into my PC and it synced my music library within a couple of minutes. Video quality is also excellent, however I had trouble getting video files to play on the device, and I also noticed that ... Read review

creative zen gives the ipod nano a run for its money
Review of Creative ZEN by AmyB86

Advantages: large screen, good battery life, very good sound quality
Disadvantages: clicky buttons, can freeze and tricky to reset

The Creative Zen, in my opinion, is a very good MP3 player which could quite easily give the Ipod nano a run for its money. The sound quality of the Creative Zen, I believe is far superior to that of an Ipod. Although it may not look as impressive, it is a neat looking piece of technology; very sleek and stylish looking. Also, It is neither masculine nor feminine and therefore suits everyone! The Zen also plays videos and again, the quality is good. ... Read review

a great alternative to the ipod
Review of Creative ZEN by gabrifvg

Advantages: stylish, easy, lots of features, good quality
Disadvantages: sometimes freezes while charging the battery

i got this player by chance, when my archos broke and the store couldn't substitute it, i used the store credit to get the first decent looking player i found. turns out i made a good choice. i've been using it for over two months now, and almost all i have to sayabout it is good. first of all, it's small, about the size of a credit card, it's thin and very light; it's weight and dimensions don't affect it's consistency though, it feels solid ...

Creative ZEN 8MB
Review of Creative ZEN by neuphin

Advantages: Small, Easy to use
Disadvantages: Screen can get dirty

The Creative ZEN is the perfect size - big enough to fit in your pocket but not so small that you loose it. It is very easy to use and the software which comes with it is very useful. The text is easy to read, because of the clear screen. The player is easy to connect to a computer and charges while you do this which is very helpful. I've found that the 8mb storage it has is more than enough for my purposes, but if I ever did run out of room on ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent sound quality, great screen

This is one amazing mp3 player and is alot better than the ipod. It has incredible sound quality which is one of the main resons why i bought it.

Creative Zen peforms again
Review of Creative ZEN by njcuthbert

Advantages: Quality of screen, price, sound quality, memory expansion
Disadvantages: no ac adapter provided, headphones

...have always stuck faithful to Creative despite the lure of Apple's excellent ipod range. This model is the answer to the ipod nano. The main difference being the price tag, being drammatically cheaper than the Apple equivalent. The unit itself is very slick and slim with a large vibrant 2.5 inch screen dominating the front. The capacity is just about right for a modest music collection. The interface is faily simple to use but does take a little ... Read review

It is worth the money, but not as good as an iPod
Review of Creative ZEN by calumneilson

Advantages: Very cheap, long battery life, good quality
Disadvantages: Not many features, slightly tacky, not brilliant

The Creative Zen is seen as an iPod competitor, but I don't think it will overtake the iPod any time soon. The player is very nice and the price is quite low compared to iPods. It can player music and videos as well as show photos. Everything is great quality. It has very good battery life, for me it is brilliant for this. iPods have batteries that don't last very long, but the battery in the Zen seems to last forever. It isn't as good at ... Read review

dont buy an ipod!
Review of Creative ZEN by spiffy123

Advantages: great value for money
Disadvantages: cheap headphones

...sound and video quality, Creative also saw fit to add some nice extras such as microphone, memory card slot and EQ. The memory card slot allowed me to upgrade my mp3 player for cheap. There seems no reason to buy an over priced apple ipod when this is on the market. I have recently bought this and although it seems fairly durable I feel the buttons could become a problem in the future. However, for th price I paid it wont be a terrible blow if it ...
